I Am Rising

I am rising

Rising...
    (Rising...)
Rising... Oh-oh... 
    (Rising... Yeah...)

I never liked your vicious games - 
The pain and heartache associated with your name... 

I never liked your dark heart - 
You liked to torture me and pull me apart... 

But steadily, I grew my strength and fought you back, 
My hidden gems presented true and helped me get my life back on track... 

Chorus 
Because I am rising now, towards my highest self... 
I am rising steadily and I feel so powerful... 
I am rising, I am rising - stronger every day... 
I am rising higher and will be powerful always... 
(End Chorus) 

Bridge 
Like a phoenix, I rise up from the fire, 
Touch the heavens and make it mine;
Rising, rising, I own the power, 
No one can ever take me lower... 
(End Bridge) 

Chorus 

Yeah, I never liked your vicious games - 
The pain and heartache associated with your name... 

And, I never liked your dark, dark heart - 
You liked to torture me and pull me apart... 

But my strength now, it's growing every day, 
And I shine like a diamond, forever and always... 

My hidden gems presented so true and helped me get my life back,
Far, far away from you... 

Chorus

Yeah, I feel so powerful, rising every day...
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah... Powerful...)
